Title: Crazy Giant Swung Glass Orange Candleholder - ID = Viking Epic #1222
Post by: horochar on June 16, 2015, 12:54:35 PM

I hate asking questions I can answer myself, but I cannot for the life of me find examples of this form (or any similar vase version) on the net.  Obviously USA glass from the 1960s.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again, Ohio. Which leads me to ask, why can't this be found on the internet??  If you Google "Viking Epic Candleholder", it does not show up at all.  Adding the number (1222) does not help.  Is it a "rare" piece?  That would surprise me, because the company mass produced all of these wares.

No not rare. Don't look for specifics, look for the obvious...Viking Glass Website.
